Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 98: Big Operation!
Zhao Gang was originally assigned to the First Death Column as a company instructor.

Just as he was about to leave, he received a new order: to serve as a combat staff officer in the New 1st Regiment, responsible for teaching cultural knowledge to the commander of the New 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong, and learning military knowledge from Li Yunlong.

When he was at Yenching University, Zhao Gang had secretly joined the party and organized the December 9th Movement, and was one of the leaders.

Based on the principle that I am a brick of the revolution and will be moved wherever I am needed.

Zhao Gang immediately reported to the brigade’s political department, and then the brigade commander sent a guard soldier to protect him as he arrived at the New 1st Regiment.

Zhao Gang didn't know much about the New 1st Regiment.

He knew that the New 1st Regiment had won several victories recently, and even the headquarters attached great importance to the New 1st Regiment.

In addition, Zhao Gang also knew that the New 386st Regiment was not the main force of the th Brigade, but a basic regiment.

The main force regiment is a standard regimental structure, with three infantry battalions under its jurisdiction. Each infantry battalion has three infantry companies and one machine gun company, plus the regimental headquarters, with a total of about 3 people.

The structure of the basic regiment is the same as that of the main regiment, but it lacks manpower, so the basic regiment generally has about 1000 people.

In addition, the basic regiment's equipment is relatively poor and the ammunition is insufficient. According to what Zhao Gang learned, the basic regiment generally does not even have a heavy machine gun, only a few light machine guns. Most of the soldiers in the basic regiment do not have guns, and each person has 5 bullets.

However, this unit not only has a gun for each member, but also has a lot of heavy firepower - heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery and infantry guns.

When Zhao just passed by the artillery platoon, he saw the artillery soldiers cleaning the mountain cannon and infantry cannon.

Then he looked at the mortars and machine guns lined up in three rows on the threshing ground in front of him, as well as the mountains of ammunition.

outrageous.

Zhao Gang seriously suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

Could such a wealthy unit be a basic regiment?
Not to mention the main regiment, even the brigade and division headquarters cannot be so wealthy.

"Aren't you the new operations officer?"

The sentry turned around and looked at Zhao Gang with a puzzled tone. It was strange that the names matched.

"What is the designation of your unit?"

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Gang asked in shock.

"Comrade, New 129st Regiment, 386th Brigade, th Division, th Group Army, do you have any questions?"

The sentry soldier became more and more confused.

Zhao Gang couldn't help but take a deep breath. He really didn't take the wrong path.

But what about these submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, mountain cannons, infantry guns and massive amounts of ammunition?

There's something wrong with this unit!
"No problem." Zhao Gang forced a smile on his face. "I am the new combat staff officer. Please continue to lead the way, comrade."

The sentry soldier looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of the soldiers from the brigade headquarters who came with them, and seemed to understand.

So the sentry soldier straightened his chest, held his head high and walked towards the regiment headquarters with pride.

……

at the same time.

New group.

Regiment Headquarters.

Li Yunlong, Zhong Zhicheng and a group of battalion, company and platoon leaders brainstormed, but ultimately failed to decide on a name for the special forces.

Special forces is a relatively unfamiliar military field for most people.

Political Commissar Zhong suggested, "Since no one is satisfied, why not let Boss Lin come up with a name? He's a great benefactor to our New 1st Regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army."

Li Yunlong thought of several names himself, but he was not very satisfied with them.

"That's a good idea." Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. "I'll ask Boss Lin next time I meet him."

Since Boss Lin was able to get this special forces military textbook, he must be very familiar with special forces.

"Wei Qiang."

Li Yunlong took out the stack of personnel information that Lin Feng had given him and looked at the spy company commander:

"I have a mission for you. From now until the formation of the special forces, your special agent company will have no combat missions. Your main responsibility is to recruit the personnel listed in this information to our new regiment. In addition, you can ask around and find people with strong martial arts and marksmanship. You can recruit them."

Recruiting these people does not mean that they can become special forces soldiers immediately.

After being recruited, they must first undergo education, inspection and training. Only after meeting all standards can they become special forces soldiers.

Even if they fail to become special forces after training, they are still the backbone of the combat among ordinary soldiers.

"Yes." Wei Qiang accepted the task without hesitation. "Captain, have you decided on the captain?"

"It's confirmed." Li Yunlong nodded, "He is..."

"Reporting to the regimental commander and political commissar, the combat staff sent by the brigade has arrived."

Halfway through his words, guard Zhang Hu came in and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng.

"Let him in first."

Li Yunlong nodded, his rough voice without any emotion.

But I couldn't help but feel secretly happy in my heart that the college students were finally here.

Everyone looked towards the door, and an Eighth Route Army soldier with a resolute expression, carrying ordinary Eighth Route Army equipment and a marching bag, but with a scholarly temperament, walked in from behind the door curtain.

"This is our regimental commander and political commissar."

Zhang Hu pointed at Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng and introduced them to Zhao Gang.

"Reporting to the regiment commander and political commissar, I am Zhao Gang, the new combat staff officer. Please take care of me."

Zhao Gang raised his hand and saluted Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng.

Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng stood up and returned the military salute.

Political Commissar Zhong said with a smile: "Welcome Staff Officer Zhao to the New 1st Regiment."

"Coach Zhao, I heard you're a college student?"

Li Yunlong looked Zhao Gang up and down and asked.

"Report to the head of the delegation," Zhao Gang said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. "I was a student at Yenching University in Peking, but I didn't graduate. I left the university after the December 9th Movement."

Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction. This combat staff officer looked refined and elegant, and his speech was very organized. College students were now of high quality, and almost all of them had real talent and knowledge. Yenching University was a top-tier university in the Republic of China, and even ranked first among all private universities in the Republic of China.

"Even if he hasn't graduated yet, he's still a college student." Li Yunlong commented with shining eyes, "Not bad, he's a great intellectual."

Li Yunlong's enthusiastic gaze made Zhao Gang feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was a gold ingot in Li Yunlong's eyes?

But on second thought, Zhao Gang could understand that he might be the only college student in the new group.

Li Yunlong first let Zhao Gang and the company and platoon leaders of each battalion get to know each other.

Then Li Yunlong said, "Huzi, take Staff Officer Zhao to put his luggage away, and then take him around the regiment to familiarize him with the troops and the surrounding environment."

"Yes."

Zhang Hu turned to Zhao Gang and said:
"Coach Zhao, please."

Zhao Gang saluted and followed Hu Zi to walk out of the regiment headquarters.

"Haha, our new regiment also has a scholar."

Captain Li was in a good mood.

When Li Yunlong was a child, his father told him that in this life, one can disrespect anyone except the scholar, because he is the God of Literature, not an ordinary person.

When he was studying, Li Yunlong's biggest wish was to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

But things did not always go as planned. When the famine struck, people could not even get enough food to eat. Survival became a luxury, let alone studying.

If the common people can have enough food and clothing, and have a warm bed with their wives and children, who would be willing to risk their lives to start a revolution?

"Captain, who did you mention as the candidate for the captain of the special forces?"

Zhang Dabiao's words brought Li Yunlong's thoughts back from his childhood memories.

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao and everyone else and said.

"You may not have heard of this man's name, but you must have heard of the battles he participated in."

"He led 16 brave men in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, defeated them, and captured the ferry."

Zhong Zhicheng asked in surprise, "Xiong Shanglin, the Second Company Commander of the Red First Regiment?"

Among the people present, except Zhang Dabiao and Zhong Zhicheng, the rest were reorganized from the Red Fourth Front Army.

"That's right." Li Yunlong nodded. "It's him. The 17 brave men who forced their way across Dadukou two years ago are actually special forces. I think it's very suitable for him to be the captain of our new special forces regiment."

"Xiong Shanglin is indeed a master with excellent qualities, but the problem is..." Zhong Zhicheng said worriedly, "The Red 115st Division, including the Red st Regiment, has been reorganized into the th Division Independent Regiment. This unit is not currently in southeastern Shanxi, and Xiong Shanglin is not someone who will follow you just because you want him to."

Zhong Zhicheng, who came from the First Red Army, was more familiar with the details of the battle to cross the Dadu River.

Company Captain Xiong led the first group of eight warriors to board the boat and cross the river. As soon as they got ashore, he and the warriors' grenades exploded violently on the enemy positions.

The 115th Division Independent Regiment was the unit that had recaptured seven county towns in succession, and its combat record was even more impressive than that of the current New st Regiment.

Li Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "I'll take two mountain cannons and 2 rounds of ammunition to Division Commander Lin. He will definitely do the deal."

Commander Li learned that the main force of the 115th Division had also retreated to the southeastern part of Shanxi, and its base was not far from the 386th Brigade.

"You are quite generous, kid." Zhong Zhicheng was surprised. He thought Li Yunlong would find the head of the headquarters and ask him to transfer Captain Xiong over, but he didn't expect that he would directly exchange him for two mountain cannons and 2 rounds of artillery shells.

If we offer two mountain cannons and 2 rounds of artillery shells to Division Commander Lin in exchange for Company Commander Xiong, there is no reason for the other party to refuse.

Transferring a main company commander here will have almost no impact on the combat effectiveness of the 115th Division.

As for why there were two mountain cannons instead of one, it was because Li Yunlong wanted to make friends with Commander Lin.

The 115th Division is full of strong men. If Li Yunlong takes a fancy to any of the soldiers in the 115th Division in the future, it will be easy to deal with him.

"Captain, why don't you just let me be the captain of this special forces unit?" Zhang Dabiao's eyes were sharp and his tone was confident. "It would also save you two mountain cannons and 2 rounds of ammunition."

Zhang Dabiao would silently note down every Japanese soldier he killed. When he was in the 13th Army, he had Japanese heads in his hands.

After joining the new regiment, he killed 15 more Japanese soldiers in several battles, and collected a total of 28 Japanese heads.

Looking at the entire Eighth Route Army, Zhang Dabiao is a rare figure with such a record.

Isn't it more than enough to be a special forces captain?

Zhang Dabiao couldn't understand why the regiment commander chose to go far away and not choose himself to be the captain, but instead used mountain cannons and artillery shells to go to the brother unit to exchange a company commander for the captain.

Is it because I am not a party member that the team leader does not trust me?
"Da Biao, you certainly have the ability to be the captain of this special forces unit."

"But I have other uses for your brain."

"You need to take a long-term view. You are a great general."

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Dabiao on the shoulder.

"Yes, Captain."

A smile appeared on Zhang Dabiao's face, and he was even more delighted in his heart.

“Ding ding ding, ding ding ding—”

At this moment, the phone in the regimental headquarters rang. Zhong Zhicheng said, "It should be the call from the brigade headquarters."

The new regiment's base was not far from the brigade headquarters, so engineers quickly installed telephone lines to facilitate instant communication.

Li Yunlong quickly walked to the phone, grabbed the receiver, and put it to his ear: "This is the New 1st Regiment."

The next second, the brigade commander's serious and powerful voice rang out in Li Yunlong's ears: "Li Yunlong, you must come to the brigade headquarters immediately for a combat meeting. The troops will be conducting a major combat operation!"

Li Yunlong straightened his body and said, "Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong's whole temperament suddenly became solemn and murderous.

Li Yunlong put on his military cap and looked at Zhong Zhicheng: "Old Zhong, the brigade commander ordered me to go to the brigade headquarters immediately to hold a combat meeting. You must immediately assemble all the soldiers in the regiment. When I return, the troops will have a major combat operation!"

Zhong Zhicheng nodded: "Okay!"

Upon hearing this, all the battalion, company and platoon leaders were eager to try it out.

It’s time to kill the devils again.
